Boef Preview fetching 400$ on Ebay

[Larry Fitz]

Was the dollar a Federal Reserve Note or a Silver Certificate Note? If one, he is $4 richer, if another, he lost a few dollars. I was handed a Silver Certificate dollar at a grocery story and showed some friends, one offered me $35 for it. I tearfully let it go.

Um, unless it was a very old Silver Certificate it is not any more valuable than any federal reserve note. They don't print Silver Certificates anymore. nor can you exchange them for minted silver dollars (which are worth more than a dollar due to their silver content) or silver bullion (which you could for a while). They are simply unusual dollar bills. Sometimes you can still get them at banks, and you get them at face value.

No kidding. A few years ago when the "Talking Elmo" thing was hot, a lady approched my wife in line at the store and offered her $1200 (yes twelve-hundred) dollars for it. Needless to say my wife turned it down.

Same thing happened last year with the collectible barbie dolls. My wife always buys several for my daughter around Christmas. A lady approached my wife and offered her some stupid amount of money for what was apparently the last one of its kind (at that store). She turned that down too.

All I know is they better be glad I wasn't there. My daughter would'nt have her "Talking Elmo" that year, wouldn't have her collectible barbies last year, and I'd have been at least $1200 dollars richer.

For $1200 after the holidays you could have taken your daughter to somewhere fun like an amusement park or something, AND given her the dolls. And have money left over.

I've seen grown men shove small children out of their way to get beany babies.

after the holidays you could of got a Tickle Me Elmo doll and had $1170 left over, it's not like they stopped making them at Christmas, by the end of January they were back in stock everywhere. Those are not like Beanie Babies or collectable Barbies, they have no colectable value over the long run because they made a billion and two of them.

I wonder if you could get more auctioning it on eBay than you bought it from Amazon for? The real trick would be putting the link to the Amazon page in the auction and still getting more money.

The child had it coming. She was eyeing the beany baby I had my gaze on and was giving me that "you want trouble buddy" vibe. Self-defense all the way!
